1970 Map of Breaux Bridge

About this map

Bayou Teche and the Vermilion River define the alluvial landscape of this region during the early 1970s. The area is a complex network of waterways, including Coulee Magenta, Coulee Cocodrie, and Bayou Pont Brule, which drain the low-lying terrain between the parishes of St. Martin, Lafayette, and St. Landry. The extractive economy is centered on the Anse La Butte Oil and Gas Field, while agricultural land use is represented by a Crawfish Farm near the northern boundary.
